This T20 team will be captained by Rohit Sharma while Virat Kohli will also be seen playing in this series. Let us tell you, after a long gap of 13 months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the Indian T20 team. Both these players had performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and that is why the team was able to make its place in the final. However, India had to face defeat against Australia in the final. At present, the eyes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be on the T20 series against Afghanistan. Former South African captain Graeme Smith has given his stand regarding the return of both these players to the Indian team. Speaking to ANI, Graeme Smith said, ‘Looking at the amount of cricket the Indian team plays, it can be said that it is important to give rest to all the players from time to time and new players should also be given a chance. We have seen that many young players from India perform very well in the IPL and they have left their mark in the T20 format as well. I think the coach and selection panel should understand what the players need and what kind of players they need on which pitches. It is not so easy to select players with the kind of talent India has: Graeme Smith The former South African captain further said, ‘India has no dearth of talent and that is why they face a lot of difficulty in selecting players. According to me, along with the experienced players, some young players should also be included and only then the team will perform well. Let us tell you, Rohit and Virat had earlier played a T20 match against Australia in the World Cup. Afghanistan has also announced its team for this tour. Now it remains to be seen whether Afghanistan can give competition to India in its own backyard or not?

The third wicket of the team fell in the form of Sumit Ghadigaonkar. After this, Parag handled one end very well and started hitting hard.

“No one knows why he is not in the team, it is a different story”- Aakash Chopra said about Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan had withdrawn his name from the Test series against South Africa. Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been selected ahead of Ishan Kishan in the Indian team for the T20 series against Afghanistan because they can play wicketkeeper-batsman in the middle order. Can play in. Mohali will host the first match of the three-match T20 series between the Men in Blue and Afghanistan on Thursday (January 11), while the other matches will be played in Indore and Bengaluru. The selectors on Sunday named a 16-man squad for the series, with Samson and Jitesh selected as wicketkeeping options. No one knows why Ishaan Kishan is not there – Aakash Chopra In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that there was no explanation for why Samson was selected in place of Kishan as the wicketkeeper-batsman option. He elaborated, “Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson are the two wicketkeepers, although Samson was not kept as the keeper in the last two series. Ishan Kishan was going as the keeper but now he is no more. No one knows why Ishan Kishan is not there. This is a different story.” The former India opener said that the lack of vacancies in the top order might have forced the selectors to pick Samson and Jitesh. He said, “You have suddenly filled the opening slot. Virat Kohli plays at number 3, he does not play at number 4. Therefore the keeper will have to bat lower in the order. You have only two keeping options who can bat lower down the order, one is Jitesh Sharma and the other is Sanju Samson.” It is noteworthy that Ishan Kishan was out of the recent Test series against South Africa due to personal reasons. There is no clarity whether he has been ignored for the Afghanistan T20I series or he is still not available for selection. Also read: What problem has BCCI faced with KL Rahul now?

Ryan Burl, Craig Ervin (captain), Clive Madande, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Luke Jongwi, Sikandar Raza, Richard Ngarwa, Milton Shumba, Blessing Muzarabani, Wellington Masakadza, Tony Monunga. SL vs ZIM: Possible best performers of both the teams from this match Probable best batsman: Charith Asalanka Even though the first ODI match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe was washed out due to rain, Sri Lanka’s middle order batsman Charith Asalanka batted brilliantly and scored 101 runs in the first innings. In such a situation, similar innings will be expected from him in the coming matches also. Probable best bowler: Richard Ngarava Before Asalanka’s brilliant performance, Zimbabwe’s left-arm fast bowler Richard Ngarawa and his spinners put in a stellar performance. Amidst the struggling bowlers in Zimbabwe’s lineup, Ngarawa stood out consistently targeting the off-stump area. His new ball spell saw Avishka Fernando out for a duck and he dismissed Sadira Samarawickrama. Today’s match prediction: Sri Lanka will win today’s match

Ashwin was recently seen in the test series against South Africa R Ashwin and Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter) Last week, former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan had said about the Indian cricket team that it has failed to perform as per expectations. And despite having talent and resources, it has not been able to win any major ICC tournament in the last decade. In a discussion with Fox Sports, Vaughan said- They (India) have not won much in recent times. I think they are an underachieving team. They don’t win anything, when was the last time they won anything? He should have achieved a lot with all the talents and gifts he had. On the other hand, now giving a befitting reply to Michael Vaughan, Indian cricket team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement. Ashwin says that even though we may not win tournaments, we have been one of the best teams to travel abroad for Test cricket.

Ashwin further said- In a country like India, where we talk about cricket at every corner and consider sports as a religion. I think when we criticize too much we get caught up in unnecessary things.

“There was some pain in his body, so the team management….”- Pakistan’s head coach said on the exclusion of Shaheen Afridi.

Pakistan had rested Shaheen Shah Afridi for the third and final Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The visiting team went with off-spinner Sajid Khan in place of the fast bowler. Shaheen took eight wickets at a good economy rate of 3.35 during the two matches in Perth and Melbourne. Meanwhile, Pakistan men’s team director and head coach Mohammad Hafeez said Shaheen was given a break to “manage his workload”. Shaheen had also said during the Sydney Test that the team management had decided to keep him out for the last match of the series. Mohammad Hafeez said on giving rest to Shaheen Afridi Mohammad Hafeez was quoted as saying by India Today, “Shaheen did not take any rest at all because of T20 cricket. There was some pain in his body. He was not feeling very comfortable. As a team director, I have to ensure that no player goes into that zone where he can get injured. “I gave myself enough time to recover before that zone.” Hafeez further said, “He has worked hard in the last one year after returning from injury and the workload on him is very high. We wanted to give him leave and manage his workload. I don’t know what happened earlier, but at this time, I wanted to ensure that no bowler’s career gets spoiled due to workload not being managed.” Let us tell you that Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of Pakistan’s T20 team in November and was given the vice-captaincy of the Test team just before the Perth Test. He will take command of the team for the first time in T20 on New Zealand tour. T20 series will be played between Pakistan and New Zealand from 12 to 21 January.
